C23 Sword

The Spirit Gathering Tower was quiet and peaceful. The disciples that had come were also whispering, and did not dare to make a ruckus so as to not attract the attention of others.

Third floor of the tower, in a remote corner. Han Chen's entire body was surrounded by a layer of faint light aura, and the nature spirit energy in the air was pouring into his body unceasingly, and then transforming into martial elemental energy for him to use.

Sitting beside him was Wu Jun. The latter didn't absorb the spirit energy like Han Chen did. Instead, he looked at a wall behind Han Chen with a serious expression.

When one looked around, they would discover that almost a third of the people in the surroundings were all staring at the wall. Everyone's expression was tense and their faces were serious and solemn.

"Hu!" After an unknown period of time, Han Chen gently moved a little, and then, he opened his eyes and deeply breathed out.

Wu Jun turned around and smiled, "You really shock me. Cultivating the first level of Qi Refining on the third level, you are definitely the first."

Han Chen rubbed his nose. Speaking of which, he did not rely entirely on his own strength, but on the power of others. However, the Spirit Gathering Tower really did have an astonishing effect. In just a short period of time, he felt his strength had increased by a bit.

"How long have I been cultivating?"

"Hmm? Two hours! "About the same."

"Oh? It's been so long? " Han Chen was slightly surprised, she had originally thought that it would take at most an hour, but then she asked, "You haven't cultivated yet?"

Wu Jun shook his head, then pointed to the wall, "I'm trying to comprehend the profound principles left behind by senior, you can try."

Mysterious? Han Chen was stunned at first, then realized that on the pitch-black wall, there was actually a drawing. The look in the pattern was rather faint. If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to detect it.

The pattern was very simple. It was just a sword, ordinary and no different from the usual swords. If this was carved into some wall in the outer sect, no one would pay attention to it.

Was there really some mystery behind this? Han Chen secretly suspected, but just as he was about to ask, he saw that Wu Jun was immersed in thought, so he did not want to disturb him.

The others on the third floor, on the other hand, had similarly pensive looks on their faces. Han Chen could not help but become serious. No matter what, the Mystical Peak would not casually carve anything to amuse the disciples inside the sect.

Concentrating his mind, Han Chen started to carefully observe the sword-shaped pattern on the wall. After an unknown period of time, Han Chen realised that space seemed to have stopped, and vaguely, he noticed that the sword was warping.

Han Chen frowned, two sharp blades appearing in his eyes, like flowing lights in the night, penetrating deep into one's heart. Soon after, the two beams of light split into two, two, two, four. Then it turned into thousands upon thousands of densely packed sword blades, releasing a strong imposing aura, which covered the sky and attacked Han Chen.

Han Chen fiercely trembled, his consciousness instantly awakening. He was panting heavily, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Han Chen, are you alright?" Wu Jun asked.

Han Chen did not say anything, but recalled the feeling just now. It was clearly trying to grab onto something, but in the nick of time, it still managed to escape.

"How are you?" Wu Jun called out again.

"I'm fine." Han Chen smiled apologetically, he thought that this was just a normal occurrence and did not explain further.

Wu Jun scratched his head and said helplessly, "Let's go out! Xin Lan and Wei should be waiting for us right now. "

"En!"

In this dark environment, staying longer would cause one's emotions to become somewhat depressed. Han Chen followed Wu Jun and left the third floor. When they returned to the first floor, sure enough, they did not see Xin Lan or Dazzling Spring. This was the first time the two of them had come to the Spirit Gathering Tower, so it was hard to avoid getting used to staying here for too long.

Walking out of the Spirit Gathering Tower, the two of them were waiting not far ahead. Seeing Han Chen and Wu Jun coming out, Xin Lan immediately waved his hand and walked over, "Han Chen, Wu Jun, over here."

"When did you come out?" Han Chen and Han Chen also walked over.

"About an hour ago!" The atmosphere inside is really too stuffy. "

Xin Lan laughed as he walked. Just as the four of them were about to walk together, a figure suddenly approached them in a hurry. The few of them did not pay much attention to this. But when he reached the man's side, Han Chen's expression changed, and pushed away the man who was facing him with his back, and, at the same time, threw a palm towards him.

"Heh." Accompanied by a strange laugh, the man also raised his palm to block Han Chen's attack.

Bang! A dull sound came out in the air, Han Chen and the man retreated a few steps back. Wu Jun, Xin Lan, and Dazzling Spring were all stunned by this sudden scene.

"Who are you? Why did you have to secretly hurt him? " Han Chen asked coldly.

"What a joke, which eye of yours saw me hurt?" The man raised his head, revealing a fair and handsome face.

"Li Jian." Wu Jun said the other party's name.

Li Jian also saw Wu Jun, and a look of surprise flashed past his eyes. He then crossed his arms over his chest and laughed lightly: "Who is Han Chen?"

Their hearts skipped a beat. It seemed like there really was a reason for this. I am. " Han Chen replied in a low voice.

"Very well, I am only here to send you a message. "Three days later, come to the Colosseum."

"Why are you going just because you said so?" Xin Lan was especially dissatisfied as she shouted coldly. Thinking back to the other party's sneak attack on Da Wei just now, she felt a burst of anger.

Li Jian rubbed his chin and said with interest, "You guys don't have the right to know. You can just go." He then turned to look at Wu Jun, "It's best if you don't cause trouble, even though I, Li Jian, can't beat you. But in this inner sect, there are a lot of people who are stronger than you, Wu Jun.

"You."

Just as Wu Jun was about to curse, Han Chen stopped him and looked at Li Jian indifferently, "You want me to go to the Colosseum for no reason, shouldn't you explain the reason why? If you won't tell me, I won't go. "

"Heh heh." Li Jian let out a strange laugh. His second level Qi Refining aura was released and his eyes showed disdain. "Whether you want to go or not is up to you, but I have to remind you." If you don't see you in three days, you won't be able to stop me that easily. "

Threats, blatant threats. Xin Lan and Da Wei were so angry that their faces turned red.

Han Chen squinted his eyes, his calm voice carrying a trace of coldness, "Are you threatening me?"

"Haha, threats can't really be considered threats." Li Jian took a step forward, pointed out his index finger, and waved it from left to right, "Because you don't have the qualifications to be threatened by me."

After saying that, Li Jian shot another glance at Xin Lan and Da Wei. The corner of his mouth raised into a pleased smile, and then, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Before he could take two steps forward, Han Chen's voice stopped him in his tracks.

"What is it? Is there anything else? " Li Jian said in disdain.

"Nothing, just that you were planning a sneak attack on my friend. "You nearly injured him. You should apologize before leaving, right?"

When these words came out, Xin Lan's mighty aura was stunned. Even Wu Jun was surprised, thinking, does Han Chen not know Li Jian's strength? That was at the 2nd level of the Refinement Realm. He, who was at the 1st level of the Refinement Realm, dared to touch Li Jian's bad luck?

Li Jian was also stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head and laughed, "Hahahaha, what did you say? It was so funny. "Brat, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?"

The other side's actions attracted the attention of many people nearby and they all cast curious gazes at him.

"Yi, isn't that the number one person in the outer sect? Why did you have to compete with Li Jian? "

"Who knows!" He probably hasn't changed his arrogant habits after just entering the inner court! "

...

Han Chen didn't have any intention of retreating. He wasn't willing to see a second time when his great power was ambushed a moment ago. I repeat, apologize to my friend, and you can go. "

With just a few words, Li Jian's anger immediately rose. His face immediately darkened, his eyes flashed fiercely as he rushed towards Han Chen, "Brat, looks like you don't have to wait another three days. Now I'll make you lie on the ground and not be able to get up. "

Seeing that they were about to fight, the surrounding spectators became even more interested. Li Jian's second stage Qi Refining aura forced Xin Lan and Dafei to take a few steps back.

Just as Wu Jun was about to intervene to stop him, he saw that Han Chen had already taken out his sword. Seeing Li Jian's aggressive approach, Han Chen's mind flashed with a bright light, like a shooting star in the night, it was especially dazzling. The feeling he had felt on the third floor of the Spirit Gathering Tower once again struck him.

"Brat, look at the difference between the two of us!" Li Jian raised his fist and punched towards the other party's chest. The strong wave of energy caused the surrounding airflow to become chaotic.

"Wind Breaking Wolf Fist!"

And at this moment, Han Chen's eyes became as sharp as two sword beams. Soon after, a sharp aura spread out from his body. This was an aura that completely surpassed the first level of Qi Refinement.

"Scram for me." Han Chen's sword slashed down, the powerful aura, was like a wave that struck Li Jian's body.

Bang! A wave of muffled sounds exploded in the air, and under the shocked gazes of the crowd. Li Jian's body flew backwards, leaving an arc in the air before heavily crashing into the ground.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The heads of everyone present exploded with thunderclaps. A sword. A single sword. The first level of Qi Refining sent the second level of Qi Refining flying. Everyone was completely stupefied. They stood dumbstruck on the spot, unable to believe it.
